Japanese Beef Skewers Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

In japanese cuisine, "Kushiyaki " Refers to all foods that are skewered and grilled. It includes beef, chicken, pork, offal, seafood, and vegetables. While less commonly used, the term "Kushiyaki-ya" Refers to restaurants that specialize in skewered foods. A popular japanese skewered and grilled dish that westerners are quite familiar with is yakitori, which means skewered chicken (vegetables and chicken offal) grilled over an open flame. In the west, this term has been adopted to refer to almost anything that is skewered and grilled. Similarly, "Yakitori-ya " Refers to a japanese restaurant that specializes in any type of skewered food. While commonly enjoyed at restaurants, kushiyaki and yakitori can easily be made at home, especially during the summer when grilling is more popular. This japanese skewered beef recipe has a bold asian flavor profile bursting with savory and sweet goodness from its soy sauce-based marinade. The sweetness of these beef skewers is reminiscent of a teriyaki sauce, yet the addition of japanese sake, ginger, garlic, and scallions will remind you that this is not your average thick and sweet teriyaki skewer, but rather a sophisticated asian beef dish. Beef kushiyaki is a great main dish for an intimate family meal or large parties or potlucks. The recipe below can easily be multiplied to accommodate large parties.
